Hello My Crafty Friends!  Please join me for another fun PaperPlay Challenge:   "Stamp It Out!" For this week's challenge use your stamps! Create a card/project using a stamp - rubba', digi, clear - the choice is yours! This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp  PRIZE:  $15 store voucher Here is my DT sample card for this week: I love, love creating my own designer papers. For this card, I used a background stamp by Stampin' Up! En Francais. Against the red cardstock I used SEI Rose Petal and on the pink card stock I stamped using Versamark. I was going for a somewhat distressed, antique-ish look so I sponged a bit of ink in Rich Cocoa (Momento) along the edges & smudged the ink as well.... I made a simple envelope box to match!
